all cop shows are problematic. we are drawn to side with the police while watching these things because they never make mistakes, ultimately- not the heroes of the stories, anyway. if they brutalize somebody, that somebody is always guilty. if they get somebody convicted and sent up for a long sentence, that somebody is always the right one. none of the lazy, stupid and violent policing we read reports of every fucking day gets shown, none of the vicious, bigoted prosecutorial overreach (resulting in the incarceration of the innocent) is portrayed. nope, our Justice system is as perfect as the tv cops marksmanship

I don't get how people have 0 trust in our justice system but are all for death penalty. There have been innocent people who have been executed, and their blood is on all of our hands. Plus, we spend millions more on the death penalty then just locking people up for life. Maybe investing that money in schools would make the country a safer place then the death penalty
